Origami Dragons. Trying Something New.

Among many origami instructions, there are some origami models that I don't usually pick to make. Dragons and dinosaurs are some of them. Folding animal shapes are hard for me, and the finished creations are sometimes disappointing .

But if there is an opportunity, like a friend's birthday, I would be motivated to make it. It's a plus if it's cool looking, and the instruction says that it's "simple".

The first one wasn't too hard. I made it with a gray paper. I could probably teach this to young kids.

So, I got one cool looking one made, I wanted to try make different kind for this dragon to fight against.

The second one was more complicated, even though it says simple! (so be warned!) Once I started, though, I couldn't give up. I was determined to finish. Next time (if I ever make this again) I would use a bigger paper than I would normally use.

I made it with a red paper like this. It was pretty cool looking, although I might add that I would use a thicker paper than origami paper (but not too thick, because that would make the other folds hard), to have the cool wings look like in this instruction.
